Pros

The Culture was decent while I was there. I loved my leader and my coworkers. I worked remote but still had decent camaraderie with other folks in my division.

Cons

Pay was really low for the function. They also have band-level promotion caps that are very unequitable. I got promoted after 2+ years of service and made less money in my role than new hires because new hires didn't have a band-level promotion comp increase cap (obviously). I received 4 "discretionary" raises in my first year in the new role because they kept doing market evaluations and they kept determining that I was under paid.

Pros

They have fantastic pay for the position you're in, and they teach you interesting and engaging utility of modern technology mixed with legacy fundamentals. I've learned quite a bit while AmEx while getting paid more than fairly - I'd recommend a stretch here to whomever may be reading this!

Cons

The Company is huge, and at times it may take more than a little time to get recognized for your abilities and the growth you've had. There's a reason there is a "only way up is out" reputation exists for some enterprise companies...
